IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2116484/

OnlineBatch rendering with http://www.ranchcomputing.com
-----------------
MainConcept:
The main concept stemmed from firstly wanting to do something that hadn't been done in the films. What I love about the films isn't so much the flying around shooting stuff which we know he can do (and is ace) - it was always the way the suits are built to deploy and get him out of dangerous situations. Iron man 3 progressed the suits technology into flying and combining together but I wanted to keep it a little more grounded technically and not have pieces whizzing about.
Blocking out:
Right away I got on with laying down a really fast animatic and it quickly became apparent that the sequence would work well. From there i started building higher resolution assets and the piece came together.
One of the things I had to do was put him in peril in some way! so I decided on having him attacked by an F14 tomcat -I'd read somewhere that some of the disused and retired F14's were bought up by Iranian military. I thought it might be quite nice to hint at it having been stolen (hence the Ten Rings logo on the wing) and used to attack Tony Stark with his own military technology. I had to take some liberties - the Jericho missile would probably nuke his car and half the landscape but it was fun to have him under attack from that technology.
Extra help:
I managed to persuade an incredible CharacterArtist, Mark Cushley to get on board after seeing my early edit and he agreed we really need to see RDJ's Tony Stark in there.
I was put into contact with Elliott Crossley by the guys at Sneaky Zebra Nick Acott & Gary Scullion. I passed Elliott a rough outline of what i wanted to happen with the audio and he just took it and ran giving me more than enough to work with - as soon as this was dropped in and before the lip sync was completed I knew it was going to work as a sequence.
Technical:
The 3d elements were put together in Maya with Mental Ray and Vray used for rendering. After effects allowed me to composite the various render layers. One shot in particular has more than 190 layers and numerous nested composites. I exported motion data from Maya and dropped it into after effects - this allowed me to do properly tracked 3d lens flares, depth of field, motion blur and refraction effects all in after effects along with composite skies and other backdrop details.
I started using online batch rendering with http://www.ranchcomputing.com. This allowed me to get some of the more difficult HD render passes out of the way.
Overall the piece has taken a long time - more than 18 months. However that has all been in my spare time and apart from Tony Stark all the assets have been modelled by myself which took up a good chunk of time in the beginning. My wife gave birth in february 2012 which has made spare time pretty hard to get hold of, and i have been working extra hours on DriveClub for Playstation4 so iIve had to squeeze it all in around both of those areas of my life.

Check out this cool CGI animated short inspired by Method Studios and their fantastic video for AICPSponsorReel featuring Major Lazers light it up remix. Create by the talented Anthony Mcgrath!
"2 weeks messing about cos i needed a break from GammaProtocol. one week doing animation and special fx, another for rendering. Zero fcuks given lol!
to add to the info some chap online asked me if the anim was mocap or not. Its mocap data that i grabbed for free of le internet.. various .bvh files and they were crap! I had to resort rotation orders, clean up the data and then transfer to my rig using red9 animation binder tools and then cleanup a whole heap more! It probably would have been easier to animate the darn thing from scratch!"

Check out this sweet VFXBreakdown for "Iron ManGammaProtocol", a short film currently in development by the talented by Anthony Mcgrath!
The original inspiration for this short animation literally happened about one week after i finished Iron Man Mk Z! I set about blocking out a model for Hulkbuster mostly for fun at this point! I always wanted to put a Hulk vs Hulkbuster sequence together for a long long time but i had an issue - I really didn't want it to just be an empty fight sequence it has to tell a little story. I actually drew upon a series of short stories in the Marvel comics universe subtitled "what if" and i thought it would be fun to tackle my own short "what if" sequence.
EnterMark Cushley who saw me blocking out my Hulkbuster model and had lots of input for how he should look. He had already saved me massively putting a RDJ based Tony Stark facial rig together for me for my Iron Man mk Z fanimation i had done the year before and he was quite excited about tackling the hulk especially after seeing Avengers Assemble. His character modelling abilities are truly phenomenal and its one of the strong arms of his own company now so i'm excited to watch that grow & flourish for him :)
For the characters both Hulk & Tony Stark (RDJ) were modelled & textured by Mark Cushley. No digital scan data was used - its purely google images for reference of Mark Ruffalo for inspiration and ILM's images of Hulk from Avengers Assemble promotional material and hand-painted textures. Mark also created Tony Stark for my other short animation "Iron Man Mk Z" but he was never truly happy with that version of Tony Stark though (even though for me personally seeing him in the HUD is the highlight of that piece!). So Mark set about remodelling him to a higher resolution and more accurately so he could hold up to the 2580x1080 pixel resolution we've gone for.
Another interesting angle for our short is in the title itself.. "Gamma Protocol" - this was dreamed up by an amazing concept artist named Paul Dolan #PaulDolanArt – the overriding question to us all being “what kind of system does Tony Stark have setup to tackle a truly annoyed Hulk?”. Paul set about this project with intense dedication - putting together initial paintovers and concept art to help enhance the look and show how various parts of the characters and environment can be enhanced! He was adamant that Hulkbuster should be fast and our Hulkbuster is a sort of Veronica mk2 if you will.. faster nippier and filled with just as many high tech gadgets. He also designed the logo too and is working on some assets for the final sequence which i dont want to share too much on just yet but there's a hint in the logo! He has been truly invaluable on this piece.
There is still a good chunk of work to do for this short animation. I was hoping to get it finished last year but had a very difficult 2015 which involved flying from UK to Spain for a few months, then return, then out to Canada to work on X-menApocalypse, but sadly had to leave before i could finish my contract so back to UK again! All the while with my wife and child in tow and our lives (and my pc!) in suitcases - every spare hour i could muster i have been working on this project and still am - its very close! My wife (who is equally Marvel obsessed as me ha!) has been truly incredible supporting me every step of the way with this sequence for 2 years now so i have to say without her by my side i wouldn't be nearly as close to finishing as i am. I have no words i can write her that can thank her enough.

England

McGrath made his Test match debut for England against Zimbabwe at Lord's on 22 May 2003. He made 69 in his debut innings and took 3/16. In the second Test against Zimbabwe, McGrath scored his second half-century by making 81. His third Test was against South Africa and he made 34. In his fourth and final Test match he made a disappointing 4 and 13, and took 1/40 before being dropped from the team.

Yorkshire

McGrath made his debut in 1995 and was capped in 1999. He spent a year as captain in 2003 before stepping down to concentrate on his international career. He had a successful 2006 season hitting 1,293 first-class runs at an average of over 60. But he became disillusioned by the direction the club was taking after it only narrowly avoided relegation from County Championship Division One. It was only after Darren Gough's appointment as Yorkshire captain, and the major signings of Jacques Rudolph and Younis Khan that McGrath became convinced Yorkshire shared his ambitions and he decided to stay. He then declared himself delighted with the new situation at Yorkshire and hoped to stay for as long as possible.

An American billionaire playboy, business magnate, and ingenious engineer, Tony Stark suffers a severe chest injury during a kidnapping in which his captors attempt to force him to build a weapon of mass destruction. He instead creates a powered suit of armor to save his life and escape captivity. Later, Stark augments his suit with weapons and other technological devices he designed through his company, Stark Industries. He uses the suit and successive versions to protect the world as Iron Man, while at first concealing his true identity. Initially, Iron Man was a vehicle for Stan Lee to explore Cold War themes, particularly the role of American technology and business in the fight against communism. Subsequent re-imaginings of Iron Man have transitioned from Cold War themes to contemporary concerns, such as corporate crime and terrorism.

Iron Man MkZ ( Original animation by Anthony McGrath )

On his route to Stark Tower, Tony Stark comes under attack from the Ten Rings! Luckily he has is brand new Mark Z suite with him to test out.

Anthony McGrath - Houdini FX Showreel

I decided to put an edit together of various shots and tests i've done over the last couple of years playing with Sidefx Houdini.
Using a combination of Maya for some modelling and animation and Houdini for effects like rigid bodies, soft-body (finite element simulations) and particles.
Rendering is done with Vray and Arnold for Maya and Mantra in Houdini.
Btw i'm not emplyed as a Houdini user in any studio i just really enjoy using it and cant seem to put it down heh! Its like the ultimate digital sandbox!
There are extremely talented artists that i have to thank like Rohan Dalvi, Johnny Farmfield, MattEstela, Ben Watts, The Entagma gentlemen, AdamSchwaab, Ari Danesh and a heap of skilled artists over at www.odforce.net for sharing their knowledge and helping me along the way. Its all your fault! :p
MusicTrack:
Dante - Mostro (DJ MODE Re-Remix)
Performed Arranged & Produced by CAPRI www.caprimusic.com.ar

Hey everyone thanks for all the love and support on my channel. if you want to see more epic marvel fan art then you can now support me with a small crypto tip if you get chance.. every tiny amount helps and means I can spend more time doing this and less time crunching in vfx studios. it also means I can upgrade the quality and get other skilled artists involved with future projects!
Thanks

IRON MAN Mk Z HD

Fan ArtAnimation.
Tony Stark comes under attack from the Ten Rings & deploys his new armour.
I do not claim ownership of any of the characters depicted in this fan art.
Iron Man is the sole original property of Marvel.
Hey everyone thanks for all the love and support on my channel. if you want to see more epic marvel fan art then you can now support me with a small crypto tip if you get chance.. every tiny amount helps and means I can spend more time doing this and less time crunching in vfx studios. it also means I can upgrade the quality and get other skilled artists involved with future projects!
Thanks

Check out this sweet VFXBreakdown for "Iron ManGammaProtocol", a short film currently in development by the talented by Anthony Mcgrath!
The original inspiration for this short animation literally happened about one week after i finished Iron Man Mk Z! I set about blocking out a model for Hulkbuster mostly for fun at this point! I always wanted to put a Hulk vs Hulkbuster sequence together for a long long time but i had an issue - I really didn't want it to just be an empty fight sequence it has to tell a little story. I actually drew upon a series of short stories in the Marvel comics universe subtitled "what if" and i thought it would be fun to tackle my own short "what if" sequence.
EnterMark Cushley who saw me blocking out my Hulkbuster model and had lots of input for how he sho...

Anthony McGrath - Houdini FX Showreel

I decided to put an edit together of various shots and tests i've done over the last couple of years playing with Sidefx Houdini.
Using a combination of Maya for some modelling and animation and Houdini for effects like rigid bodies, soft-body (finite element simulations) and particles.
Rendering is done with Vray and Arnold for Maya and Mantra in Houdini.
Btw i'm not emplyed as a Houdini user in any studio i just really enjoy using it and cant seem to put it down heh! Its like the ultimate digital sandbox!
There are extremely talented artists that i have to thank like Rohan Dalvi, Johnny Farmfield, MattEstela, Ben Watts, The Entagma gentlemen, AdamSchwaab, Ari Danesh and a heap of skilled artists over at www.odforce.net for sharing their knowledge and helping me along the way. Its...

Mark's new album The Weiss Machine was released in June 2015 and is available from http://www.markanthonymcgrath.com - it features 18 tracks of Mark's interpretations of Weiss compositions performed on 13-stringed guitar.
Allemande, from Lute suite No.11 by Weiss - on 13 stringed guitar built by Harry McCormick of Cork.

On his route to Stark Tower, Tony Stark comes under attack from the Ten Rings! Luckily he has is brand new Mark Z suite with him to test out.
SneakyZebra are proud to present this video by Anthony McGrath, sound design is by Gary from the team but everything else is produced, created and the work of Anthony (and gave us specific permission to use on our channel). We're hosting it on our channel to help him get some exposure. Plus - it's damn awesome!
This is a non profit fan film as a homage to the awesome work Marvel does! We do not claim copyright on Iron Man or any of its associated work.

Tony Stark & Jarvis's voice by Elliott Crossley:
http://www.youtube.com/user/ellshmellinc
IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2116484/
-----------------
OnlineBatch rendering with http://www.ranchcomputing.com
-----------------
MainConcept:
The main concept stemmed from firstly wanting to do something that hadn't been done in the films. What I love about the films isn't so much the flying around shooting stuff which we know he can do (and is ace) - it was always the way the suits are built to deploy and get him out of dangerous situations. Iron man 3 progressed the suits technology into flying and combining together but I wanted to keep it a little more grounded technically and not have pieces whizzing about.
Blocking out:
Right away I got on with laying down a really fast animatic and it quickly became apparent that the sequence would work well. From there i started building higher resolution assets and the piece came together.
One of the things I had to do was put him in peril in some way! so I decided on having him attacked by an F14 tomcat -I'd read somewhere that some of the disused and retired F14's were bought up by Iranian military. I thought it might be quite nice to hint at it having been stolen (hence the Ten Rings logo on the wing) and used to attack Tony Stark with his own military technology. I had to take some liberties - the Jericho missile would probably nuke his car and half the landscape but it was fun to have him under attack from that technology.
Extra help:
I managed to persuade an incredible CharacterArtist, Mark Cushley to get on board after seeing my early edit and he agreed we really need to see RDJ's Tony Stark in there.
I was put into contact with Elliott Crossley by the guys at Sneaky Zebra Nick Acott & Gary Scullion. I passed Elliott a rough outline of what i wanted to happen with the audio and he just took it and ran giving me more than enough to work with - as soon as this was dropped in and before the lip sync was completed I knew it was going to work as a sequence.
Technical:
The 3d elements were put together in Maya with Mental Ray and Vray used for rendering. After effects allowed me to composite the various render layers. One shot in particular has more than 190 layers and numerous nested composites. I exported motion data from Maya and dropped it into after effects - this allowed me to do properly tracked 3d lens flares, depth of field, motion blur and refraction effects all in after effects along with composite skies and other backdrop details.
I started using online batch rendering with http://www.ranchcomputing.com. This allowed me to get some of the more difficult HD render passes out of the way.
Overall the piece has taken a long time - more than 18 months. However that has all been in my spare time and apart from Tony Stark all the assets have been modelled by myself which took up a good chunk of time in the beginning. My wife gave birth in february 2012 which has made spare time pretty hard to get hold of, and i have been working extra hours on DriveClub for Playstation4 so iIve had to squeeze it all in around both of those areas of my life.

"2 weeks messing about cos i needed a break from GammaProtocol. one week doing animation and special fx, another for rendering. Zero fcuks given lol!
to add to the info some chap online asked me if the anim was mocap or not. Its mocap data that i grabbed for free of le internet.. various .bvh files and they were crap! I had to resort rotation orders, clean up the data and then transfer to my rig using red9 animation binder tools and then cleanup a whole heap more! It probably would have been easier to animate the darn thing from scratch!"

I always wanted to put a Hulk vs Hulkbuster sequence together for a long long time but i had an issue - I really didn't want it to just be an empty fight sequence it has to tell a little story. I actually drew upon a series of short stories in the Marvel comics universe subtitled "what if" and i thought it would be fun to tackle my own short "what if" sequence.
EnterMark Cushley who saw me blocking out my Hulkbuster model and had lots of input for how he should look. He had already saved me massively putting a RDJ based Tony Stark facial rig together for me for my Iron Man mk Z fanimation i had done the year before and he was quite excited about tackling the hulk especially after seeing Avengers Assemble. His character modelling abilities are truly phenomenal and its one of the strong arms of his own company now so i'm excited to watch that grow & flourish for him :)
For the characters both Hulk & Tony Stark (RDJ) were modelled & textured by Mark Cushley. No digital scan data was used - its purely google images for reference of Mark Ruffalo for inspiration and ILM's images of Hulk from Avengers Assemble promotional material and hand-painted textures. Mark also created Tony Stark for my other short animation "Iron Man Mk Z" but he was never truly happy with that version of Tony Stark though (even though for me personally seeing him in the HUD is the highlight of that piece!). So Mark set about remodelling him to a higher resolution and more accurately so he could hold up to the 2580x1080 pixel resolution we've gone for.
Another interesting angle for our short is in the title itself.. "Gamma Protocol" - this was dreamed up by an amazing concept artist named Paul Dolan #PaulDolanArt – the overriding question to us all being “what kind of system does Tony Stark have setup to tackle a truly annoyed Hulk?”. Paul set about this project with intense dedication - putting together initial paintovers and concept art to help enhance the look and show how various parts of the characters and environment can be enhanced! He was adamant that Hulkbuster should be fast and our Hulkbuster is a sort of Veronica mk2 if you will.. faster nippier and filled with just as many high tech gadgets. He also designed the logo too and is working on some assets for the final sequence which i dont want to share too much on just yet but there's a hint in the logo! He has been truly invaluable on this piece.
There is still a good chunk of work to do for this short animation. I was hoping to get it finished last year but had a very difficult 2015 which involved flying from UK to Spain for a few months, then return, then out to Canada to work on X-menApocalypse, but sadly had to leave before i could finish my contract so back to UK again! All the while with my wife and child in tow and our lives (and my pc!) in suitcases - every spare hour i could muster i have been working on this project and still am - its very close! My wife (who is equally Marvel obsessed as me ha!) has been truly incredible supporting me every step of the way with this sequence for 2 years now so i have to say without her by my side i wouldn't be nearly as close to finishing as i am. I have no words i can write her that can thank her enough.

I decided to put an edit together of various shots and tests i've done over the last couple of years playing with Sidefx Houdini.
Using a combination of Maya for some modelling and animation and Houdini for effects like rigid bodies, soft-body (finite element simulations) and particles.
Rendering is done with Vray and Arnold for Maya and Mantra in Houdini.
Btw i'm not emplyed as a Houdini user in any studio i just really enjoy using it and cant seem to put it down heh! Its like the ultimate digital sandbox!
There are extremely talented artists that i have to thank like Rohan Dalvi, Johnny Farmfield, MattEstela, Ben Watts, The Entagma gentlemen, AdamSchwaab, Ari Danesh and a heap of skilled artists over at www.odforce.net for sharing their knowledge and helping me along the way. Its all your fault! :p

Tony Stark & Jarvis's voice by Elliott Crossley:
http://www.youtube.com/user/ellshmellinc
IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2116484/
-----------------
OnlineBatch rendering with http://www.ranchcomputing.com
-----------------
MainConcept:
The main concept stemmed from firstly wanting to do something that hadn't been done in the films. What I love about the films isn't so much the flying around shooting stuff which we know he can do (and is ace) - it was always the way the suits are built to deploy and get him out of dangerous situations. Iron man 3 progressed the suits technology into flying and combining together but I wanted to keep it a little more grounded technically and not have pieces whizzing about.
Blocking out:
Right away I got on with laying down a really fast animatic and it quickly became apparent that the sequence would work well. From there i started building higher resolution assets and the piece came together.
One of the things I had to do was put him in peril in some way! so I decided on having him attacked by an F14 tomcat -I'd read somewhere that some of the disused and retired F14's were bought up by Iranian military. I thought it might be quite nice to hint at it having been stolen (hence the Ten Rings logo on the wing) and used to attack Tony Stark with his own military technology. I had to take some liberties - the Jericho missile would probably nuke his car and half the landscape but it was fun to have him under attack from that technology.
Extra help:
I managed to persuade an incredible CharacterArtist, Mark Cushley to get on board after seeing my early edit and he agreed we really need to see RDJ's Tony Stark in there.
I was put into contact with Elliott Crossley by the guys at Sneaky Zebra Nick Acott & Gary Scullion. I passed Elliott a rough outline of what i wanted to happen with the audio and he just took it and ran giving me more than enough to work with - as soon as this was dropped in and before the lip sync was completed I knew it was going to work as a sequence.
Technical:
The 3d elements were put together in Maya with Mental Ray and Vray used for rendering. After effects allowed me to composite the various render layers. One shot in particular has more than 190 layers and numerous nested composites. I exported motion data from Maya and dropped it into after effects - this allowed me to do properly tracked 3d lens flares, depth of field, motion blur and refraction effects all in after effects along with composite skies and other backdrop details.
I started using online batch rendering with http://www.ranchcomputing.com. This allowed me to get some of the more difficult HD render passes out of the way.
Overall the piece has taken a long time - more than 18 months. However that has all been in my spare time and apart from Tony Stark all the assets have been modelled by myself which took up a good chunk of time in the beginning. My wife gave birth in february 2012 which has made spare time pretty hard to get hold of, and i have been working extra hours on DriveClub for Playstation4 so iIve had to squeeze it all in around both of those areas of my life.

A CGI 3D Animated Short Film : "Digital Dancers" - by Anthony Mcgrath

Check out this cool CGI animated short inspired by Method Studios and their fantastic video for AICPSponsorReel featuring Major Lazers light it up remix. Create by the talented Anthony Mcgrath!
"2 weeks messing about cos i needed a break from GammaProtocol. one week doing animation and special fx, another for rendering. Zero fcuks given lol!
to add to the info some chap online asked me if the anim was mocap or not. Its mocap data that i grabbed for free of le internet.. various .bvh files and they were crap! I had to resort rotation orders, clean up the data and then transfer to my rig using red9 animation binder tools and then cleanup a whole heap more! It probably would have been easier to animate the darn thing from scratch!"

Check out this sweet VFXBreakdown for "Iron ManGammaProtocol", a short film currently in development by the talented by Anthony Mcgrath!
The original inspiration for this short animation literally happened about one week after i finished Iron Man Mk Z! I set about blocking out a model for Hulkbuster mostly for fun at this point! I always wanted to put a Hulk vs Hulkbuster sequence together for a long long time but i had an issue - I really didn't want it to just be an empty fight sequence it has to tell a little story. I actually drew upon a series of short stories in the Marvel comics universe subtitled "what if" and i thought it would be fun to tackle my own short "what if" sequence.
EnterMark Cushley who saw me blocking out my Hulkbuster model and had lots of input for how he should look. He had already saved me massively putting a RDJ based Tony Stark facial rig together for me for my Iron Man mk Z fanimation i had done the year before and he was quite excited about tackling the hulk especially after seeing Avengers Assemble. His character modelling abilities are truly phenomenal and its one of the strong arms of his own company now so i'm excited to watch that grow & flourish for him :)
For the characters both Hulk & Tony Stark (RDJ) were modelled & textured by Mark Cushley. No digital scan data was used - its purely google images for reference of Mark Ruffalo for inspiration and ILM's images of Hulk from Avengers Assemble promotional material and hand-painted textures. Mark also created Tony Stark for my other short animation "Iron Man Mk Z" but he was never truly happy with that version of Tony Stark though (even though for me personally seeing him in the HUD is the highlight of that piece!). So Mark set about remodelling him to a higher resolution and more accurately so he could hold up to the 2580x1080 pixel resolution we've gone for.
Another interesting angle for our short is in the title itself.. "Gamma Protocol" - this was dreamed up by an amazing concept artist named Paul Dolan #PaulDolanArt – the overriding question to us all being “what kind of system does Tony Stark have setup to tackle a truly annoyed Hulk?”. Paul set about this project with intense dedication - putting together initial paintovers and concept art to help enhance the look and show how various parts of the characters and environment can be enhanced! He was adamant that Hulkbuster should be fast and our Hulkbuster is a sort of Veronica mk2 if you will.. faster nippier and filled with just as many high tech gadgets. He also designed the logo too and is working on some assets for the final sequence which i dont want to share too much on just yet but there's a hint in the logo! He has been truly invaluable on this piece.
There is still a good chunk of work to do for this short animation. I was hoping to get it finished last year but had a very difficult 2015 which involved flying from UK to Spain for a few months, then return, then out to Canada to work on X-menApocalypse, but sadly had to leave before i could finish my contract so back to UK again! All the while with my wife and child in tow and our lives (and my pc!) in suitcases - every spare hour i could muster i have been working on this project and still am - its very close! My wife (who is equally Marvel obsessed as me ha!) has been truly incredible supporting me every step of the way with this sequence for 2 years now so i have to say without her by my side i wouldn't be nearly as close to finishing as i am. I have no words i can write her that can thank her enough.

IRON MAN GAMMA PROTOCOL (By anthony mcgrath) REACTION!!!

If you’ve enjoyed this video leave some support with LIKES. Help me out and share it with ...

England

McGrath made his Test match debut for England against Zimbabwe at Lord's on 22 May 2003. He made 69 in his debut innings and took 3/16. In the second Test against Zimbabwe, McGrath scored his second half-century by making 81. His third Test was against South Africa and he made 34. In his fourth and final Test match he made a disappointing 4 and 13, and took 1/40 before being dropped from the team.

Yorkshire

McGrath made his debut in 1995 and was capped in 1999. He spent a year as captain in 2003 before stepping down to concentrate on his international career. He had a successful 2006 season hitting 1,293 first-class runs at an average of over 60. But he became disillusioned by the direction the club was taking after it only narrowly avoided relegation from County Championship Division One. It was only after Darren Gough's appointment as Yorkshire captain, and the major signings of Jacques Rudolph and Younis Khan that McGrath became convinced Yorkshire shared his ambitions and he decided to stay. He then declared himself delighted with the new situation at Yorkshire and hoped to stay for as long as possible.

Dawkins has consistently been sceptical about non-adaptive processes in evolution (such as spandrels, described by Gould and Lewontin) and about selection at levels "above" that of the gene. He is particularly sceptical about the practical possibility or importance of group selection as a basis for understanding altruism. This behaviour appears at first to be an evolutionary paradox, since helping others costs precious resources and decreases one's own fitness. Previously, many had interpreted this as an aspect of group selection: individuals are doing what is best for the survival of the population or species as a whole. British evolutionary biologist W. D. Hamilton used gene-frequency analysis in his inclusive fitness theory to show how hereditary altruistic traits can evolve if there is sufficient genetic similarity between actors and recipients of such altruism (including close relatives). Hamilton's inclusive fitness has since been successfully applied to a wide range of organisms, including humans. Similarly, Robert Trivers, thinking in terms of the gene-centred model, developed the theory of reciprocal altruism, whereby one organism provides a benefit to another in the expectation of future reciprocation.[59] Dawkins popularised these ideas in The Selfish Gene, and developed them in his own work.
